Just to add to your point of the size of the US, I recently traveled from San Bernardino California to Salmon Idaho in my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. Even avoiding high traffic areas like Utah it was still rough, that's with it being a more or less straight line through Nevada, only 20 fucking hours.
Honestly I suspect that this will be both a boon and a curse for resistance as time goes on, since it does heavily restrict how fast you can physically move people around. This means any response time by the feds is going to be decently lagged out.
I am also annoyed that those exact thoughts about boon/curse had to enter my brain, but storing it in long-term planning just the same.
Hey at least its broadly to our advantage, between the Routes, Highways, Biways, and Interstates there's basically no way to lock down a county let alone a state without immediately overextending your manpower massively. This ain't the Soviets in WW2 where the Germans could just knock and the railway and isolate a city.
